brand of coffee

[Vanilla]

Anyone know what brand of coffee Princess uses as the "fresh brewed" batch? RCCL has a Starbucks on some ships and Seattles Best for purchase in some cafes (as an example).

I am not sure about the brand, but I AM sure that they have recently (within last year or so) changed brands for the worst, and I am talking about the brewed coffee that you get with the coffee card. It used to be quite good; now it is barely mediocre. At least that is my opinion.

When it comes to taste or many other things, it's subjective & that includes coffee. ;)

Princess does not have a branded affiliation, it all depends who has the best price arrangements when they buy.

DH thought the coffee was good on the ship.....even the syrup stuff. He is a little different in his tastes though. He hates Starbucks.

I'm with him I hate Starbucks also....too strong and too pretentious.

Not a fan of Starbucks - but wasn't a fan of the last Princess coffee I had either.

We were on the Coral this summer and enjoyed the freshly brewed coffee a lot - no brand was obvious in any of the places we got it. The syrup coffee is pretty awful and I definintely recommend the coffee card! If you buy it with a coupon from the coupon book you get on your bed the first day of the cruise you get a metal coffee mug free with it!

Hi Al

 

Just my view but this years coffee at IC seems weaker and more bitter,

 

not saying its bad coffee just not the same as before

Sooooooooooooo true!!!!

[SMCruiseControl]

I am already old and bitter, but I don't need for my coffee to be that way also:D

[timem]

I like Starbucks because it is strong and pretentious

Why is it so difficult to get a good cup of coffee at sea? Even when one is willing to pay for it.

Just an FYI, but this is a 2 year old thread....

funny you should say that. Tasted just like the buffet coffee to me as well. Did not remember it being that bad on previous cruises. I don't think I would get the coffee card the next time; not worth the 31.00.
